We present a deep color-magnitude diagram in the VI passbands of the globular cluster M54, a member of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. The data extend below the cluster's main sequence turn-off, allowing us to estimate the cluster's age. We find that M54 is 0.5--1.5 gigayears older than the Galactic globulars M68 and M5. In absolute terms, the age is comparable to the published age estimates of the other member clusters Arp 2 and Terzan 8, but is significantly older than the member cluster Terzan 7. An age estimate of the Sagittarius field population relative to M54 suggests that M54 is \gtrsim 3 Gyr older than the field. We discuss briefly the star formation history of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
